Jia Ran had produced a total of five life treasures. They were the five dark gold snake scales that Lin Yuan had stolen.
Without any of his life treasures, Jia Ran's combat power would be greatly discounted. If he continued to partner with Yu Xin in his current state, he would be shortchanging him.
There were no shortcuts to forming life treasures.
Special precious spiritual ingredients could be used to speed up the formation of the first life treasure. But such methods were only useful a few times. Over time, the effects would dwindle.
In order to form these five life treasures, Jia Ran had spent a large portion of his finances on precious spiritual ingredients. But even after that, it still took him 3,200 years to form the five life treasures.
Without the help of precious spiritual ingredients, the formation process would be extremely slow. Essentially, it would take him a full 5,000 years in order to make up for his recent losses.
